The CCG will review the response to this Prior Information Notice to refine intentions in respect of the scope of service and whether the contract will be offered as one or a number of lots.

The CCG is keen to receive expressions of interest from suitably qualified potential bidders who are either individual organisations or coming together as a group of organisations.
